Chesterfield extend keeper Lloyd Allinson’s contract

Keeper Lloyd Allinson is to remain at Chesterfield when his six-month contract runs out this month, new boss Gary Caldwell confirmed today.

The 23-year-old, released by Huddersfield in the summer, made a surprise home league debut against Bolton Wanderers in December after injury ruled out Ryan Fulton – and the shot-stopper made a match-winning save in the 1-0 victory.

Allinson, who made his full debut the previous month in a defeat at Fleetwood, is cover for Fulton, the regular choice after a long-term shoulder injury wrecked Tommy Lee’s season.
